@ORSenDemocrats@SollmanJaneen Is there a concern here that certain products will no longer be sold in Oregon? California has the scale to set these types of rules, but I think many manufacturers will just stop selling to the state rather than jumping through hoops to comply to this.
@Chorpenning @sisterspdx Do you agree with the practice of using tax exempt donations to lobby politicians as a general rule, or is your view that others are doing it, so your preferred non-profits should also in an effort to level the playing field?
@Chorpenning @sisterspdx You seem to be acknowledging that they use tax exempt donations to lobby for political change, but you belive this is OK because it is a good cause and one that you personally really agree with.
@pnwpolicyangel Voting on issues that they don't control rather than focusing on issues that they need to fix is a major reason we lack progress in City government.
@People4Portland The initial work that this group did to point out some of the issues was important, but at some point you have to pivot this into something positive. Why not put up some billboards in favor of Rene, or some of the city council candidates that you would actually support?
@RDW_Heather@CPBWorks@candaceforpdx What makes you believe that you will get 12 great people to follow the 5 you don't like? It seems like Portland would just elect the same type of person, now you just get more of them.
@RobinYeOR Your assumption that only rich people care about efficient streets seems very flawed. I would bet that 90% of residents drive frequently and care a lot about being able to travel without delays.
@Ecosozialismus For years I have thought that going all in on the liberal agenda would have negative consequences, but there was no way to prove it. Portland took the path of testing the theory (legal drugs, highest taxes, soft DA, ect), so it makes sense that people are discussing the results.
